Hi,
Our website http://www.urbanpitch.com is currently using Newspaper version 7.5, and with the recent WordPress update we’ve been running into problems because it isn’t compatible with PHP 8.0. The create_function seems to be the issue. We’d like to update the theme to a more recent version that would support PHP 8.0, can you please provide some guidance? Thanks!
Hello,
Please update the theme to the latest version 12.5.1
Please make a full backup to all files and database => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAJXrSI-dDA
Here you can find information about the changes that have occurred in each update over time https://tagdiv.com/newspaper/
I recommend that you update the theme manually https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ via FTP/cPanel/File Manager, also if possible disable extra plugins during the theme update to avoid any problems that may arise and make sure that you have activated the tagDiv Standard pack plugin to keep the website’s look. You can try to update the theme on a staging website.
After you update the theme, you need to update the theme plugins too.
In the worst cases, the settings in the theme panel may be lost (there have been isolated cases), in these cases, after the theme plugins that were previously used are activated, you will have to use a backup for the theme panel -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/
Thank you!
Hi,
Do I have to purchase the latest version of Newspaper in order to update it?
Hello,
No, you do not need to buy it. You can find the latest version, 12.6, in your Themeforest account https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thank you!
Hi,
We tried to update our website http://www.urbanpitch.com to the latest version of Newspaper, but because our Child Theme with our website customization is working on an older version (6.0), we ran into some issues. Namely, the Child Theme is using Visual Composer which is not supported by the current version of Newspaper, which uses TagDiv Composer. Would you be able to provide guidance on how to best fix this issue? Thanks!
Hello,
To convert the shortcodes from Visual Composer to tagdiv composer can be done with custom work.
